Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meowth sells for $2,024 against $101 raw: a $1,924 spread, 20× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($515) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
